Churches & Faith Communities
A Wattman electric train ride is the attraction kids talk about long after the event ends. Churches across the U.S. run it at VBS, fall festivals, Easter celebrations, and Christmas events. It also serves as a practical campus connection on Sunday mornings. No fumes, no noise, and no track required.
At church events, the Wattman train operates as a family attraction: one fixed boarding station, a loop through your grounds, back to the same spot. The ride lasts 5 to 10 minutes. Children want to go again. That repeat demand is what makes it a highlight of the event rather than just an amenity.
Kids board at one station, ride a loop through the event grounds, and return to the same spot. Children want to ride multiple times. It becomes the most talked-about part of the event.
Each ride cycle runs 5 to 10 minutes. The train runs continuous cycles throughout the event. You can ticket each round or include it as part of the event experience.
Beyond events, many churches use the train on Sunday mornings to welcome families across the campus. It becomes part of the arrival experience rather than a logistics solution.
The fully electric drive system produces no fumes. Safe for indoor event spaces, covered areas, and outdoor grounds without disruption to the environment of the event.
Children remember the train. They ask if it will be at the next event. They bring friends to ride it. For churches running VBS, fall festivals, Easter celebrations, or Christmas events, the train becomes a reason for families to attend and a reason to come back.
Because the train is fully electric, it operates without fumes in indoor event spaces, covered areas, and outdoor grounds. It runs quietly alongside music and conversation without becoming a distraction. It charges overnight on a standard 120V outlet and is ready for the next operating day.
Beyond events, churches with large campuses use the train on Sunday mornings to welcome families across the grounds. What would otherwise be a logistical challenge becomes part of the arrival experience for children and families.

Both models operate without track, run on a full day's charge, and carry full U.S. certification. The right choice depends on your campus size and how many families you want to serve at peak times.
These are some of the churches and faith communities across the United States that operate a Wattman train on their campus.
Yes. Every Wattman train meets ASTM F2291 and ASTM F1193, the U.S. standards for amusement ride safety, independently certified by TÜV Nederland. The electric drive system operates at a maximum speed of 3.8 mph and includes standard safety features including an anti-collision system option.
Yes. Both the Mini Express and Maxi Express are designed for indoor and outdoor use. The electric drive system produces zero emissions, making it safe for enclosed spaces such as covered walkways or indoor event halls, as well as open parking lots and outdoor grounds.
Permit requirements vary by state and local jurisdiction. In most U.S. states, operating a certified amusement ride with paying passengers triggers permitting and insurance requirements. Our U.S. sales team will walk you through the documentation included with every unit and what your state typically requires.
The train is designed for ease of operation. It uses a simple e-Pedal drive system that most drivers can learn quickly. Maintenance is minimal, primarily routine battery checks and occasional drive system diagnostics. No special mechanical training is required for day-to-day operation.
